Thoko Shumba
Do you feel strong, intense, emotions and it's affecting your life? Therapy is a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore and untangle the different parts of your life. During our time together, we will explore your emotions, thoughts, and experiences to gain insight into the things going on in your life. We will then work to equip you with the tools you need to build a life you envision for yourself and adapt to adversity. I provide a safe space to be seen, heard and to receive support.
I specialize in the treatment of personality disorders such as borderline personality disorder & provide treatment for other mental health related disorders. My treatment approach draws from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). However, I provide therapy for other mental health related issues such as stress, anxiety, depression and relationship issues.
